I remember people complaining they were not enough on the videos...so now it's the opposite. it's hard to satisfy everyone.

LOL. Seriously! If they weren't in the video, it'd be WHY AREN'T THEY IN THE VIDEO?

What else are they going to do other than play? Isn't that what they always do?

yes, they never acted in their video, maybe the more "acted" was I chose, they always played, dexter was upside down in the meaning of life...but that's all....oh they walked in wdygaj...

TKAA and SIMU had the best Offspring music videos, IMO. It has nothing to do with whether or not the band is in the video.

yes, RonWelty, by acting I mean the band acting like in a movie, not moving while playing, SIMU is right!

If you mean they wear pants, t-shirts (shirts, sweatshirts) and even shoes, then yes, they are dressed as Foo Fighters.

SIMU was a goofy song. It had a goofy video to go with it. Days go By is not a goofy song; therefore, the video will not be goofy.

Not, but there are bands that act in the video, like go around, doing things, are carachters in the story. it would be cool

Dexter_italy

There are bands that do that, but not this band. They never have, and probably for a reason.

the reason is given in dexter's performance in Idle hands and Pauly Shore ahahuahauha

The Offspring have never been a character-ish band. Unlike people like Billie Joe, Madonna, Gerard Way, etc, who have distinctive public and stage personas, they've pretty much been a band who writes songs, rocks out, and lives their own private lives. They're not that talkative or theatrical during concerts (not at ALL compared to a lot of bands) - in fact, minus Noodles, they're kinda shy for a rock band. I honestly think it'd be painfully awkward to watch these guys try to act in the way you're talking about. SIMU was about as close as they've ever come, and it was really only Dexter - and while I LOVE that video, it was definitely a bit awkward.

I think it's perfectly fine to have them playing their instruments in a music video. As Little_Miss said, that IS what they do.

I hope though that Cruisin' California will have a video along the lines of Pretty fly for a white guy. That song to me seems like Pretty fly for this current generation :), surprisingly I've been listening to it more than Days go by.

lol you got me wrong, I want them in the video, they can play the instrument or do whatever they do, but not just the band playing their instrument for 4 minutes

I see the problem here. Can't Repeat, simple version, was kinda boring, them standing in a room and simply playing, maybe some video editing like separated screen. There is more to Gone Away and Self Esteem. Dexter playing with the light bulb. Ron view from behind. In Self Esteem they were going around plus some kids going around and a dog. Video effects too. X-rayed skeletons or old looking effects in Gone Away.

Which song was it where the video was shot from like a hundred different camera angles? I liked that one, but can't remember which it was.

Just watched it - thanks! I looked up Can't Repeat and Million Miles Away, thinking it was one of those...

That song has a cool video - probably the best video they've done of just them playing. I like Gone Away's, too, though.

Titus

Listening to the song I expect something like the new canīt repeat video with more acting from them and other actors.
I know they dont do acting in their videos (besides SIFU, and maybe I choose, gone away), but somehow I feel they will do something different, the lyrics and the video will "walk hand in hand"

Titus

05-01-2012, 11:19 AM

I think he acted in gone away video too! At some point of the video you see him with his hand in his head like screaming. That was a badass acting

SeanAshmore

05-01-2012, 11:26 AM

I would say the video will be like can't repeat, hopefully the 'full' version with the scenes interspersed with the band playing as opposed to just them playing. I'm still more interested in seeing the (hopefully funny) video for Cruisin' California.

Dexter_italy

05-01-2012, 11:33 AM

Well doing a can't repeat 2 would be a bit boring as well, since there's a wite screen back it could be like them playing and in the background some life scene passing, life evolving and shit..

From the shots I've saw It seems like they will be playing and video will be put on that blank sheets even if normally they use green sheets (i don't know the tech term). I think it will be like GD's Boulevard of broken dreams video. My 2 cents.

If there were going to be effects in the background, they would be in front of a green screen (or blue screen), and not a white wall. When those walls are used (I think it's called a cyclorama wall, or cyc wall), that's usually intended to be the background, with no effects added.

Since it's a totally blank background, they can still superimpose images onto it.

yeah I know they usually green screen... my theory is wrong.

maybe.

GamerKT

I've never seen a white wall used in post for effects.

Doubtful. You can superimpose anything onto anything. I'm saying it's easier because it's blank. It is not a substitute for chroma key, but they can add floating photos or whatever the hell they wanna put.

Or nothing. Just saying that they can.

TripleDK

05-02-2012, 02:58 AM

Yeah, I've been messing around with chroma-keying in my spare time, and there is definitely no law that states it HAS to be a green or a blue backdrop. It's just usually easier because it contrasts better.

Dexter_italy

05-02-2012, 03:22 AM

I thought of a video going in the background because of the artwork too... like the guys in front and back scenes of life happening... of course a video of 4 minutes of them playing in a white background would be a bit boring.
Wait.... is the keyword of these weeks!

Marco

05-02-2012, 06:10 AM

I would actually like them just playing...like the Can't Repeat video, it's one of my favourites because of its simplicity.

No matter what, it feels really good seeing the band working on new stuff :)

Wouldn't it make more sense to talk about the video after actually watching it? We've just seen a couple of pictures, I guess it's not enough to judge the whole video.

I always thought they made slightly crappy music videos. I don't really care about this one. I do really like the SIMU, Gone Away, and Da Hui videos though. A lot of them are blocked in my country for some reason.

Llamas

They do, and I'm okay with that. Music videos are kinda silly, anyway. Very, very rarely does a music video impress me enough that I think it's worth it. Otherwise, just gimme the song.

That said, I do own the Offspring's Music Video DVD. I also have Bush's - but usually I prefer live concert DVDs, of which I have many more.
